Pictured below is a demonstration version of the Company’s first rehab device, the Orthodynamic
Rehabilitator OR is a compact, portable device for use by hospitals, clinics and rehabilitation centers on
patients with upper limb injuries and disabilities. The OR is a non-invasive, robotic, computer-controlled
exoskeleton device that provides measurable ‘force resistance’ and repetitive exercise for neurological,
neuromuscular or musculoskeletal impairments.
The Company believes that there is no computer program driven “intelligent” rehabilitation and
measurement devices on the market as compact in size, or containing as much computing abilities as does
the Company’s Orthodynamic Rehabilitator. The Company believes that the compact size and multi-
function nature of the Rehabilitator will also lend itself to use in smaller-sized rehabilitation clinics which
account for a large proportion of rehabilitation activity and will enable the Company to price the
Rehabilitator in a competitive manner.

The device in which the affected arm is placed upon designed to be dressed on the patient body and is
attached to a briefcase sized processing unit so that the entire unit can be moved around as is by rehab
personnel. Measurements are read through a computer screen attached to the unit when needed.
The Rehabilitator’s benefits to hospitals, rehab centers and therapists include the following:
Compact size, portability and tele-medicine capability: The Rehabilitator is smaller than existing
devices which makes it beneficial for smaller rehabilitation clinics and will thus greatly expand the market
for this type of measurement and rehabilitation device. It is also portable and less cumbersome than
similar rehab machines on the market. Due to the fact that it is driven by a computer program, the device
also has tele-medicine capabilities once a communication module is incorporated into to the device and can
therefore provide remote monitoring of the Rehabilitator and home use. This capability also greatly
expands the potential market and use of the Rehabilitator.
Highly precise measurement capability: The Orthodynamic Rehabilitator is able to precisely
measure and record a patient’s current status and progress over a period of time. This is of particular
importance for insurance reimburses and industry/ occupational-therapy related areas where employers
are interested in obtaining objective data indicating the completion of a prescribed therapy routine
resulting in a specific level of rehabilitation;
Data acquisition potential: The system’s software component will incorporate memory and data
processing functions that are used to track a patient’s performance and progress over time. It will display
the data on either an on-site screen or from a remote distance in real time;
Increased patient and treatment capacity: Automating therapy functions with state-of-the-art
equipment will enable hospitals, clinics and practitioners to increase their patient capacity by providing
more efficient use of human resources and by enabling its control and monitoring from a distance (i.e.
providing a vehicle for the practice of tele-medicine);
